Who is united in hate? The British Left and the jihadists. From Douglas Davis in The Spectator, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Stranger still when the odd couple are fundamentalist Islam and the secular Left. The evolving Black–Red alliance is growing in France, Germany and Belgium. But, based on the successful British model, it is now going global to declare war on the war on terror.No fewer than three international conferences have been convened in Cairo, presided over by the former president of Algeria, Ahmed Ben Bella, under the auspices of the International Campaign Against US and Zionist Occupations. One outcome is ‘The Cairo Declaration Against US Hegemony, War on Iraq and Solidarity with Palestine.’ British signatories included Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn and, of course, the indefatigable George Galloway, whose ‘fiery’ participation won honourable mention in Egypt’s semi-official newspaper, Al-Ahram.
If Iraq was the catalyst for the Black–Red alliance, the Stop the War coalition provided the cauldron in which the union was consummated. The result is a pure gestalt: the coalition allows its constituent parts to pack a far greater collective punch than they could have dreamt of on their own. Putting a million people on to the streets of London is not, after all, small potatoes. The steering committee of the Marxist–Islamist alliance consists of 33 members — 18 from myriad hard-Left groups, three from the radical wing of the Labour party, eight from the ranks of the radical Islamists and four leftist ecologists (also known as ‘Watermelons’ —green outside, red inside). The chairman is Andrew Murray, a leading light in the British Communist party; co-chair is Muhammad Aslam Ijaz, of the London Council of Mosques. Among the major players from the Left are Lindsey German, who resigned as editor of the Socialist Workers’ party newspaper to become convenor of the Stop the War coalition; John Rees, also of the SWP, and, of course, George Galloway. Indeed, the first proud progeny of the alliance is Galloway’s Respect party, which fought and won the London seat of Bethnal Green and Bow, with its substantial Muslim electorate.

I spy with my little eye ...
... a bunch of useful idiots! To be subjected to the Three Choices of Life Under Islam (conversion, dhimmitude or death) when they have outlived their usefulness (more in my article here).
One of those marriages which, while made in hell, yet seem so obvious and so inevitable. What we learn, once again, is while love has its ups and downs, and even what makes horseraces has its Epsom Downs, the course of true hate ever did run smooth. Nothing can get in its way -- not reason, not logic, not common sense.
"The savvy Galloway, now more godly than gorgeous, has created a conduit through which Islamofascism pumps its poison into Britain’s political bloodstream. It would be quite funny were it not so serious."
Personally, I find the repellant and reptillian Galloway about as funny as a rattlesnake.
Mr. Gallow-swine is not only one of the usual suspects:
Wasn't he married to a Mohammedan?
Surely, he acts and speaks for them.
But he is also an anarchist and a traitor who wants to destroy our society.
But then what?
In "The Arabs in History" Lewis offered a definition of an Arab as someone who speaks Arabic, practices Arab customs, and takes pride in the achievements and past glories of the Arab nation. Though I'm not certain about his foreign language skills, Galawi (nee Galloway) became a full-fledged Arab with his recent marinated-in-sesame oil peroration about the "the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters [Baghdad and Jerusalem]":

On a side note, though, we must be careful not to brand anyone who is an opponent of the Iraq war as a useful stooge of Islam. There were honorable procedural reasons to have been against it (as the gaming of intelligence information by Bush and his fellow "heroe in error" Chalabi proved), and compelling prudential reasons to say it has now gone on past it usefuleness.

The Axis Powers- Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan- failed in their delusional unity, as this creepy conclave will fail.
But not for the obvious reason- conflicting ends- but for a psychological sub-current running through all despotisms: no self-criticism.
In laymen's terms: no sense of irony.
They are doomed by their 'seriousness', because it represents only half of life.
By severing their ties with the primordial power of relaxing humor and refreshing joy, they become brittle and unadaptable to the 'panta rhea' fluid world.
Rendering themselves more liable to dash to pieces on the rocks of absurdity and painfully unforgiving fact.
Adapting to the wry twists of existence is beyond their grasp, and, like all delusional dogmatists ( Hitler's final months, as described in "A Study In Tyranny" is a perfect model of this deadly and self-defeating straight-facedness) they will march over the cliff of their own of unreality rather than admit it exists.
Freedom's ability to turn from such folly, and to tap into the source of laughter at our own mistakes, and to change, will ultimately preserve us.
While our enemies remain paralyzed and refuse to fit into this world, insisting that it bend to their beliefs.
Mother Nature doesn't take kindly to being treated like a dumb Muslim "half man" bitch.
And will bite them. Hard.
We need to help her.
No joke.
I wonder who the U.S. attendee's were?
